Healthy Diet for Healthy Live
Healthy Diet, maybe almost everyone have ever known about that. It maybe a common topic in health article or health news.
What makes it becomes so important to emphasize -- Everyone need diet everyday, to get the energy to fullfil the nutritional demand. So what kind of diet that you eat, will determine your health condition.
Some diet can give immediate impact, such as poor hygiene process diet, may cause you watery diarrhea, or other kind of infection, but mostly kind of diet will give impact after long period of time. Kind of diet will contribute to our health after a period of time.
Some kind of diet is protective factor for the disease, and others is risk factor for the disease.
There are many trials or researchs have been done about healthy diet. Such as: Eating a lot of fruits and vegetables as a child is associated with healthier arteries as an adult. The amount of vegetables consumed in childhood correlated to the amount of arterial stiffness in adulthood. — Children who consistently eat lots of fruits and vegetables lower their risk of having stiff arteries in young adulthood.
Arterial stiffness is associated with atherosclerosis, which underlies heart disease. When arteries are stiff, the heart works harder to pump blood.
A pattern of eating fewer vegetables in childhood was associated with higher pulse wave velocity as an adult. The association remained significant when adjusted for traditional cardiovascular risk factors such as high-density lipoprotein, or HDL, (good cholesterol) and low-density lipoproteins (bad cholesterol). The group with the persistent pattern of eating more vegetables and fruit from childhood to adulthood, had an average 6 percent lower pulse wave velocity compared to those who ate the least vegetables and fruits.
The number of lifestyle risk factors (low vegetable consumption, low fruit consumption, low physical activity and smoking) in childhood was directly associated with pulse wave velocity as an adult. This association remained significant when adjusted for the number of lifestyle risk factors in adulthood.
Eventhough the trial showed that eating vegetables is good, but it doesn't mean that we don't other kinds of food such as meat, bread, rice, fish, etc.
Since vegetable mostly contain minerals or vitamins and fiber those are micronutrient for our health, eventhough we don't eat vegetable and fruits we will stay alive, but may not healthy as person with vegetable and fruits in their menu.
Concept of Balance diet is important to maintain our health and to prevent the disease. Every nutritions have its own portions in our diet. Most portion is for major nutrients such carbohydrate, fat, and protein. For those major nutrients, whole grain or other complex carbohydrate is better than sugar or simple carbohydrate for our health. Unsaturated Fat also better than saturated fat.
Looks Like difficult for us, right. We want a delicious food, but in other side we need to maintain our health. Of course it's a dillema for many of us.
For me, Eat what you want to eat, but keep it in normal amount or portions, and balance it with exercise or physical activity, good sleep, to achieve healthy live.
